I have been using an air cooled since 92 for wheat harvest in MT (90 degree+ temps common)and the only time it heats is when the cooling fan on the engine is worn,which happened for me at about 1000 engine hours.

The Gleaner will put the 9600 Deere to shame in the same field. The rolls need good maintenance like any machine should get and really aren't that expensive when they see All the grain going through the machine. The Deutz engine is cheaper to "replace" than repair. They are also very fussy about being kept ClEAN and blown out, the fan fins wear with age and cause loss of proper cooling. An R62 with a Cummins is the better route, probably one of the reasons that AGCO went away from the Deutz in combines. My N6 Series 3(670I) and one neighbors R62 (Cummins) have been more reliable than the R60 (Deutz) in the neighborhood.

I'd have to agree with John on the Deere vs. Gleaner and the rolls. The engines he's right about too. It is a little pricey to repower with a cummins, but with a little advice and help, it is by FAR more affordable than rebuilding that air cooled. I can only think of about two machines that i know of around here that are still running the air cooled, everything else that had an air cooled got repowerd, some even got it after they were bought and before they went to the field because the owners refused to run the air cooled. Its the owners own personal experience and_or choice.

I have a 9170 tractor with the airmotor, but it takes oil at 3000 hrs. local dealer has spent over$4000 of my money trying to figure it out. Had a factor rep look at it and he does't know what the problem is. Has anyone had any problems like this and what was the solution to that problem. Ilike the tractor and its great power and want to keep it as it does not have any resale.

Not exactly, you still had a choice in 95. 96 was the first year that Gleaner was totally Cummins.

I'm curious, I used to work for a lawn care service and we had two zero turn mowers one was air cooled and the other was liquid cooled. The air cooled model was running the same deck as the liquid cooled with more horsepower 25hp, but the liquid cooled with 22hp could out run that thing in heavy grass. The air cooled model would get hot and loose horsepower, where the liquid cooled stayed consistant. I was wondering if the Deutz is the same wayIJ Curt
